Santa’s Claws

Here’s another evil black and white xmas tale, this time from Frank Brunnerand the final issue of Major Magazine’s Web of Horror series. WOH had tons of talent onboard from the start, guys like Bernie Wrightson, Syd Shores, Jeff Jones, Mike Kaluta, etc. To find out more info about this very interesting, yet very short-lived 3-issue series check out Richard J. Arndt’s site HERE.

I let these magazines get away from me in the 1970s during one of the periodic purges of my collection. It's good to see this again. Too bad I'm too arthritic to kick myself in the ass for selling good comics like this! ARRRGGHH!.

Your Horrible Host of Horrors

(aka Steve Banes) Editor / co-editor of IDW's Chilling Archives of Horror Comic Books: ZOMBIES, RETURN OF THE ZOMBIES, DEVIL TALES, and MUMMIES, as well as co-host of the bi-monthly HAUNTED HORROR comic series and HAUNTED LOVE miniseries. (All image scans and photography by me from items found in my own personal, putrid collection-- except where noted.)

"...the capital of online comic book horrors... saying "Not the best story THOIA has run" is a bit like saying "one of Beethoven's lesser symphonies!"---Quasar Dragon

"...the object of all horror chicks' wet dreams... a comixkaze of awesome!"---Killer Kittens

"...an online repository of vintage comic fear fare where individual stories from long out-of-print issues are posted in high resolution, page by page. For a fan of EC, Atlas and other Silver Age-era comic companies, it is pure heaven (and hell)..."---Bryan Reesman (Attention Deficit Delirium)
